In this story:

NASHVILLE — The Bengals beat the Titans on Sunday, but that didn't mean star quarterback Joe Burrow was all smiles.

The 28-year-old was frustrated after the victory.

“It was just too sloppy," Burrow said bluntly.

Despite the sloppiness, the Bengals are 6-8 after the win. Here are our Week 15 winners and losers:

Winners

Joe Burrow

Burrow completed 26-of-37 passes for 271 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Despite the turnovers, the star quarterback played well. He's thrown for at least three touchdowns in six-straight games.

Chase Brown

Brown finished with 97 rushing yards and one touchdown on Sunday. He also had three receptions for 16 yards and another score. He's playing at an elite level and deserves plenty of praise for bringing stability to the Bengals' backfield and giving them another reliable weapon on offense.

Bengals' Defense

It was far from perfect, but a unit that forced six turnovers deserves its' flowers. Geno Stone had the play of the game, baiting Will Levis into his third interception. Stone returned it for a touchdown that gave Cincinnati a 31-14 lead.

"It was something I saw on film during the week," Stone said. "I’m pretty sure (Kerby) Joseph for the Lions had the same exact pick against them. I saw that during the week. It was something that me and the coaches talked about that it was something I could disguise in Banjo, that’s our coverage we had."

Losers

Will Levis

The Titans quarterback threw three interceptions and lost a fumble before being benched by Brian Callahan. It wouldn't be surprising if he was demoted for the final three games of the season.

Tackling

The Bengals' tackling issues continued on Sunday. It's something that has plagued them all season.

They created chaos, which is great, but they have to do the simple things if they're ever going to be an above average unit.

Jordan Battle

Battle made a bunch of plays, finishing with 10 tackles, but losing the ball on the one-inch line after recovering a fumble and returning it 60 yards. Instead of scoring a touchdown, he lost control of the ball and it took a touchdown off the board.
